Who is it that lapses back into personhood? its the mind, let it be. You are that Awareness in which this mind plays all its tricks. If you truly recognize oneness, you wouldn't be able to lapse back because Awareness is awareness and always stable. Nothing changes in Awareness, only appears to be.

Facts! 🔥🙏🏼

You're referring to our first part of our roundtable. I think you make a good point none of us brought up (or I don't remember if we did, or it was just in passing): "every lineage with a long chain of teachers has accumulated vast amounts of Shakti in that lineage." Lineage matters. Or, a chain of teachers/gurus/etc of some form matters. I mentioned in these talks I had spent some time studying at the San Fran Zen Center, which was my first introduction to buddhism/zen outside of college religion classes and a few pot smoking hippies (LOL). I was introduced to teachers who had this lineage coming down from other teachers, in this case from Shunryi Suzuki Roshi who was tied to teachers in Japan going back to Buddha. It blew and boggled my mind, and fascinated me. I'd just spent about 3 years in the church world where anyone and everyone could be a preacher if they felt called. I knew ministers went to schools, but they didn't seem to lay any claim to lineage no more than my Bachelor of Arts gives me a connection to the founder of my college from 1893. I occasionally talk about this on my channel. "Newer traditions lack that accumulated Shakti, of course it doesn’t mean it’s wrong to create a new tradition or innovate but it will probably lack that accumulated power." Though, I do agree with this final statement of yours too. There are some teachers out there I would put in the top 1% who don't have a direct lineage, but they got something many who have a lineage may not have.

Thank you for watching! Part 3 goes live August 2nd!

@@hinduismwithpremananddasbhagat Thank you for sharing, and I’m looking forward to watching Part 3 on August 2nd! It’s great to connect with others who are exploring these spiritual themes. Wishing you all the best on your journey

Can you expand on how it was answered perfectly?

I don't actually defend Guruji and said that none of the panelists who claimed enlightenment are enlightened. Now, it is up to you how you view Guruji and I think he presented what he is to everyone just like every other participant including myself. Just to add that I did feel Artem was being condescending to Guruji. That is all. For someone who claims to be enlightened, he was rather immature about calling someone immature 'Guruji'! It is your opinion about it being right to not idolize guru or people but in the East, the Guru is given a lot of respect, to the point that it is the same as God because of the wisdom the guru gives. I don't expect a lot of people to understand this. Artem didn't make me see who I am. My Guru has already done that thank you! I wish you well on Team Artem!

@@TheBeardedMysticPodcast the Ten Commandments make it very clear to not worship people “idolatry”. Why is this even being said? Why do you wanna worship so bad lol. Just respect and love the guru. Also like I said. It seems like you’re just not listening to clear logic and are stubborn honestly. Jesus 3 times in the Bible basically did what Artems even doing, and artem didn’t even do much you seem to be blowing up what he did cause it’s not a big deal. Jesus “condescendingly” looked with anger at the Pharisees Mark 3:5…. Jesus got mad at the Pharisees because they were being hypocrites in the temple… in the book of revelation Jesus says he hates the people who call themselves spiritual “Jews” and are not.

@@TheBeardedMysticPodcast also you’re being very condescending toward artem in this video, almost egotistical with hateful words when you coulda just dropped it. You’re doing exactly what you hate artem for??

In case you didn’t realize this is a Hindu channel not Christian! 🕉️

@@TheBeardedMysticPodcast is that all you had to say? Cause I knew I was right. Also I’m way more into Hinduism and Buddhism more than Christianity. I don’t let what people have done to religion fix my view on what’s right. If you truly studied Jesus you would know he’s a master by his words. Like artem and Frank said, again. We’re just people. Jesus was just a person, he was not his religion, and so was every Hindu master. Shouldn’t you know not to identify with things?

Vince is truly very wise! I am glad he crossed over to UA-cam for a bit!

I love the red book too!!!!!!!!! The wisdom just kept flowing!!!!!!!!

You are very welcome and I am glad you really enjoyed this! I had a lot of fun and learned a lot too!

This is very true! Their so-called ego deaths is just the spiritual ego appearing empty! That is why they are so blind to their own arrogance and ignorance!

I'm glad you liked my story. I'm not so familiar with Rumi, but great thoughts. The sad part of this story is my friend - who I worked with, rented a room from, talked to nearly every day or saw for many years cause he was my best friend, so I knew him well - is not so good when it comes to self-awareness. Horribly so. That is why I remember this event in our 20+ year friendship so well. Yet, today he still hasn't figured it out that its an issue with emotion. His thing is: I just need to read another book and then maybe ... maybe.

@@hinduismwithpremananddasbhagat Thank you for sharing more about your story. It's very insightful. It's interesting how our paths can diverge in terms of self-awareness and emotional connection, even among close friends. Rumi often emphasized the importance of looking within for understanding and fulfillment, rather than seeking it externally. I can relate to your experience. I also have a dear friend who seems lost and struggles to take proper action for his mental health. It's challenging to watch someone you care about not recognize the underlying issues and continue searching for answers in the wrong places. Sometimes, looking within is all that's needed, and you don't need to read another book. Your story shows this journey of inner exploration and the challenges that come with it. I hope your friend finds his way to deeper self-awareness someday. Thank you again.

@@DrMortezaChalak Learning to balance heart and head, bhakti and jnana, self-awareness and not caring, were probably some of the biggest hurdles I had to overcome in my life. (I'm 47 now, my friend is now 65-ish and he's no where near being self-aware ... sad, cause he's a musician, intellect, will literally give you the shirt off his back, artist, but almost all his friends now take him in small doses as his conversations haven't changed. Its sad.). I had someone once say to me she never met a human robot, cause I had no emotions surprisingly so for someone who read a ton of books and was an artist and musician. She wasn't right, but I tucked them away. I didn't want to be all "feelies" (and this was before that word was in vogue), but also didn't really want to face myself. I wasted a lot of time trying to be something I wasn't, someone that would impress others. Then I moved abroad and suddenly those folks I was trying to impress? 1000's of miles away and didn't matter. Wake up call! Self-awareness I talk a lot about on my channel. .... We recorded Part 2 of this roundtable last night. We get into some of these topics more. If you have a chance to watch it was a great talk.

Thank you my friend!

Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it!

@@TheBeardedMysticPodcast Hare Krshna dandavat pranam Jai Srila Prabhupad

Thank you for coming on. Looking forward to Part 2!

Thank you and it was great chatting with Neal!

Thank you so much for your kind comment!

I definitely appreciate Nimai ji's quotes from the scriptures and I equally appreciate all the participants that spoke from their experience, which is also backed by scriptural understanding. Move beyond the words and one will see everything clearly.

Thank you!!!!

I am aware of Edwin's Guru's alleged crimes. However, I do like to separate devotee from the guru. We were here to learn and/or listen to Edwin. He shared very nice insights!

Quoting from shastra is important and so is understanding the essence of the shastra! Both are just as valuable as each other. In fact, does Sri Krishna tell us just to follow shastra in the Bhagavad Gita? He instructs us to have our own experience, follow bhakti, karma and dhyana yoga aswell as Gyana yoga!

@@TheBeardedMysticPodcast why are deleting my comment prabhu?

@@subamnabensa5794I’m not deleting anything.

​@@TheBeardedMysticPodcast I would not first check myself one by one which is the most tasty dish among many dishes..rather I will ask an experienced person which is best and have it.. similarly as you said if krishna gives options to many ways for elevation to highest perfection..but at the end if he concludes and gives us the best and most supreme method (bhakti) 18.65-18.66 ..I will take that..shastra is there to guide me and guru is there..I am conditioned soul I can't just ignore the scriptures and have my own experience..who will take so much trouble when authorised representatives of God guru is there to guide me..he will guide me through shastra..I don't have enough time to speculate and experience on my own because I am conditioned..hare krishna

​@@TheBeardedMysticPodcastkrishna tell us to go to a guru (4.34) he is so merciful that he is saving our time to not go and have experience of our own by practicing all the methods..the essence of Bhagavad Gita and all Vedic literature is to love krishna..and all the great acharyas concludes that..I just follow

Om Namo Narayanaya. Thanks!

Thank you for your wonderful comment! Om Shanti ji!

Thank you🙏🙏🙏

Yes, Lyam has always been a great addition to our roundtable discussions. I really appreciate your gratitude and encouragement that others should watch this. Honestly, this is a humble way of giving back and learning a lot in that process!! Lots of love!

Nimai ji gave incredible insights from the scripture and everyone else gave incredible insights from their experiences! We inspired each other and this openness is what makes these discussions beautiful!

Thank you my good friend!

We convinced with nimai nitai prabhu philosophy,looking forward to join him in next session and for further advancement . He is looking bold and his presentation is like loin presentation 😊. Thanks for conducting these type of podcast ,it help us a lot

Thank you Vikram ji for your comment. Like you, I think it is best to not be rigid but to be open to learning from everyone. We have to rise above all dogma and doctrine. Glad that you really liked this!

You're welcome and every participant has given great insights and presentations!

@@vikramsinghrana7134 if someone sticks to a bonafide process there is nothing wrong with that in fsct the people who oppose the bonaifde process are foolish

Thank you and I am glad that you enjoyed it!
